Platform Pedal Mods When Using Straps?

[easysmile]

Hi.

If the title of this post isn't clear, I'm trying to get some advice about the wisdom of removing the studs (nubbins?) from BMX platform pedals when using straps. I assume such a mod' is done to allow your foot to more quickly/easily escape from the pedal when bailing.

I have never used straps before. I want to improve my FGFS skills and I'm thinking straps will be essential for that. Still, I don't want to go hurting myself more than I have to by setting them up improperly.

Thanks for reading and for any advise/experience you care to share.

I don't know what FGFS means. :-)

Not sure what you're on about either, but I'll give props to the local boy's powergrip pedals if you're looking for a pedal strap system.
